Thanks, Fitz. I’ve heard this from a few folks. Yes, it’s bound in blood wood; top, fretboard, and headstock.
Thanks, Moment.
Thanks, Bruce.
Thanks, Thorreain. I tend to design and build toward my own likes, which include thin necks, low action, and high output. While my musical tastes are rather eclectic, my playing preference leans toward hard rock and neoclassical metal. So, I’m anticipating an aggressive sound.
